Pick up your copy today to get all the gory details! And I do mean gory…

Come not between the fell drake and his prey…

Ghost Rider (Su) A fell drake can take an incorporeal creature as a rider. The rider uses the fell drake’s fly speed and maneuverability as its own and otherwise follows the rules for mounted creatures, and also gains the benefits of the fell drake’s ghostly shroud. If the incorporeal creature possesses frightful presence or an unnatural aura or can create a supernatural fear effect with a fixed radius, such as a ghost’s frightful moan, it adds the radius of its own ability to the fell drake’s to determine the area of effect. If the effect allows a saving throw, creatures within the expanded area must save twice (once against the save DC of the rider and once against the fell drake’s save DC); if either save fails, the creature is affected by the aura.

Ghostly Shroud (Sp) A fell drake is surrounded by wisps of ectoplasmic force, protecting it as continuous mage armor and entropic shield (caster level 13th). If these effects are dispelled, the fell drake can resume them as a free action on its next turn.

Plummet (Ex) As a standard action or as part of a charge action when flying, a fell drake can attempt an overrun combat maneuver against a smaller creature. This maneuver does not provoke attacks of opportunity, and its target cannot choose to avoid it. A creature knocked prone with this overrun maneuver takes 2d6+12 points of bludgeoning damage. If the drake expends one use of its mythic power, it can use this ability against up to three creatures.

Rider’s Bane (Ex) If a fell drake strikes a mounted rider, that rider must succeed at a Ride check against a DC equal to the fell drake’s attack roll or be dismounted. If a fell drake attacks an animal with a rider, on a successful hit the animal must succeed on a DC 18 Will save or fall prone (dismounting its rider) and begin cowering for 1d4 rounds. The save DC is Charisma-based. If the fell beast expends one use of its mythic power as a free action, it can force the mount and rider to roll twice and select the worse result on a saving throw or Ride check made against this ability, and if both the rider and mount are knocked prone the rider takes 4d6 points of bludgeoning damage as the mount lands on top of it and is pinned for as long as the mount remains cowering. Getting out from underneath a cowering mount requires a DC 21 Strength check or Escape Artist check.
